Tiny

After a wonderful tutorial from Jo, I came home and started working on my new trees. These new trees will be smaller, much smaller than the first set of trees. 

Each half square finishs at 1 1/4 inch. 

I think I may have bitten off more than I want to chew, but I will go on. 

There is a lot of trimming to make them just right. They need to be precise so I don't fail Jo's tutorial. Or have a wonky quilt. Those days need to get behind me!

So trim, trim, trim and then construct the units. 

Then make them into these tiny, adorable trees! This makes all the pain worth it, kind of like childbirth. When you see how adorable these trees are, all you can do is sigh and smile. 

These little trees finish at 7 inches. The big trees finish at 13 inches. 

My plan is to frame the big trees with rows of tiny trees. 

I may have to go back and fiddle with that trunk. 

I also ran of the check fabric and will have to add another fabric into the quilt. Which is alright. It'll be fun to add a bit more color into this quilt, but it will still be green. 

Today is "cocktail" day. It's not so bad. I thought it would be much harder but in reality, it releaves my symptoms. Thank goodness!

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Take care, Brandie
